Thursday Challenge: Noisy -

"Noisy"photograph by Mick Mather

This brightly painted metal plate marks a stairway inside The Gear Factory in Syracuse, New York and seemed to be just right for the week's Thursday Challenge theme of noisy! Except for minimal cropping, this photo is untouched. Now, it's another gorgeous day and I'm going outside for a walk.

hpy:Since I'm a bit of a maverick when it comes to being a man (I'm a good listener!) I did turn it. I must say, it doesn't look quite right when I flip it. Is there anything else that needs to be turned upside down? :)

I think it's perfect just as it is..although I flipped it in my minds eye and thought that the red on the wires at the top (this way around) looked like it had run! Would look good either way in my opinion.

elegia:Just as the sign indicates, you can go up or you can go down. Welcome back! :D

lisa sarsfield:I actually took Hélène's advice and flipped the image. Believe it or not, the way the light and shadow plays on the link fence, it doesn't look right when it's flipped. Now, had I cropped this all the way into the red, metal plate, it would be a different story. :)

About Me

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks.
This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images.
Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr.
In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com
